10cc: "Dreadlock Holiday" (1978)

10cc was a British band that (in the mid-70's), was touring Jamaica with the Moody Blues and Procol Harum. Apparently one of the Moody's encountered a rather threatening man on the street and recounted the story. 10cc made it a song and released it in 1978. 10cc was much better known for "I'm Not In Love" (1975) and "The Things We Do For Love" (1977), both hits in the U.S. "Dreadlock Holiday" peaked at #44 in the U.S.
We particularly like the vocals by lead vocalist Graham Gouldman.

  1. Sad that the songs for which 10cc was best known were their absolute worst songs! I have a few albums by them & their lyrics were so clever & funny, with catchy tunes in a dark way...sort of like The Smiths of the '70s.
